Join us for a Chinese New Year event organised by
a group of events students. Learn about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. Free food will be served along with cultural performances, crafts and dumpling making.
This event is free and open to all staff and students at Sheffield Hallam University.
A lecturer called Helen Thompson has 40-50 home undergraduate students doing TESOL modules who need to work with international students and complete an assignment which explores the English proficiency of a language learner. It’s a great way to practice your English!
The students would need to meet you about 4 times 1:1 and do speaking, listening , reading and writing activities and teach a one to one English lesson between now and the end of April.
If you are interested, please email Helen Thompson H.M.Thompson@shu.ac.uk
